  • May 1, 2007 and Been Reborn As Rush Hour with a New, Ex-Champion Bass – Norm Thompson
    From David McEachern, Presentation Judge: Show the rhythmic drive visually as well as vocally, more consistency in facial expressions, more playfulness facially. From Chris Arnold, Music Judge: Tuning was an issue in the first measures, pay attention to vowel matching and taller sounds, swing songs require more emphasis on beats 2 & 4, a bit too wordy (emphasis on words instead of phrases). But as Greg Moss pointed out, we didn’t hear some of the same old comments from judges, because of our improvements. We ended up 8th out of 12 competing choruses. We also competed in Plateau 3, because our previous score had been in the 600s (total pts). See: http://www.pioneerdistrict.org/C&J/plateau_explained.htm We scored just a click less than Traverse City’s Cherry Capitol Chorus, which was encouraging, because we were able to hear them, and they sounded great. For some strange reason, Mt Pleasant’s Mountaintown Singers came to sing and be scored, but not to compete. Their score would have beaten eventual winner, Lansing’s Capitol City Chordsmen (who scored 847 points for a 70.6 average). The thirteen quartets ranged quite a bit in quality, and it seemed to us (and the judges) that the average quality also deteriorated from Friday night to Saturday night. Fermata Nowhere led the scoring Friday night, but Wildcard had higher scores Saturday, nearly upsetting Fermata. Moxxie was in the running Friday night but fell to 7th after the Finals. Infinity has died Vol. 7, No. 1, (#73) May 1, 2007 and been reborn as Rush Hour with a new, ex-champion bass – Norm Thompson.
